Institutional (in)Justice: Queer and Trans Survivors’ Experiences Accessing Resources at Oregon State University and the University of Oregon

Creator:: Hunt, Emilee, C.
Abstract:: Recent studies have shown that queer, trans, and non-binary students alike are experiencing sexual assault at higher rates than their heterosexual, cisgender counterparts (Cantor et al. IV). While conversations surrounding university sexual assault education and prevention have increased in recent years, this disparity suggests that not enough is being done...

A petrogenetic model for the Caribbean large igneous province

Creator:: Krawl, Kyle A.
Abstract:: The Caribbean Plateau is an oceanic large igneous province (CLIP). A widely accepted model for LIP petrogenesis proposes that these large bodies of igneous rock are formed by decompression melting associated with upwelling mantle plume heads during the initiation of hotspot activity. According to this classical model, petrogenesis occurs over...

Global Citizen, Global Consumer: Study Abroad, Neoliberal Convergence, and the Eat, Pray, Love Phenomenon

Creator:: Barbour, Nancy Staton
Abstract:: This thesis examines the convergence of neoliberal rhetoric across popular media, academic, and institutional discourses, and draws connections between contemporary women's travel literature and common scripts in study abroad promotion. Finding such narratives to be freighted with ethnocentric constructs and tacit endorsements of market-based globalization, I critique the mainstreaming of...

Seed bank response to juniper expansion in the semi-arid lands of Oregon, USA

Creator:: Duncan, Corinne M.
Abstract:: Expansion of Juniperus occidentalis into the sagebrush steppe has resulted in significant changes in understory composition. A consequence of increased J. occidentalis dominance may be a depletion of the seed bank. The potential for depletion is problematic because a reduction in the amount of species available from the seed bank...

The effects of alternative future development scenarios on ecological processes and social-ecological resilience in Central Oregon

Creator:: Duncan, James A.
Abstract:: This research sought to explore the implications of different tenure regimes for both landscape-level ecological processes and the overall resilience of a social-ecological system in Central Oregon. The purchase by an investor of former industrial timberlands known as the Bull Springs tract raised the specter of dispersed residential development on...

Exploring Roles for Scientists and Simulation Models in Collaborative, Science-Based Ecosystem Restoration

Creator:: Hughes, John
Abstract:: The U.S. Forest Service’s Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program (CFLRP) seeks to encourage collaborative, science-based ecosystem restoration of forest landscapes. Many theorists note a tension between participatory approaches in governance and the certainty and control that science is said to offer. This research explores how collaboration and science are currently...

Metaphor and Bias : An In-Depth Look at CNN and Fox News Channel

Creator:: Duncan, Sara R.
Abstract:: This study links together two very complicated, but very important subjects: media bias and metaphor. More specifically, this study investigates whether or not examining a media outlet's use of metaphor is an effective methodology for investigating media bias. Using cluster analysis, I identified the source metaphors most commonly used on...

Utilizing the thermodynamic properties of E85 to increase the specific efficiency of a high specific output single cylinder Formula SAE engine

Creator:: Duncan, Derek N.
Abstract:: Formula SAE is a collegiate engineering competition that has participants from around the globe. Of the 1000 points available throughout the event, 100 (10%) are dedicated to the fuel efficiency of the student built race cars. Competition rules allow either gasoline or E85, a mix of 85% ethanol and 15%...

Prototyping a triple-layer phoswich detection system

Creator:: Duncan, Christopher L.
Abstract:: Multi-layer optically coupled scintillation based radiation detectors, known as phoswich detectors, have rapidly evolved in recent years. During the same time, digital signal processing has improved radiation discrimination accuracy and enhanced reliability, while reducing complexity and size of traditional analog signal processing methods. A new generation of high-speed radiation detectors...
